It’s a mighty long day, in the freight elevator,
\n Say, „Hey there Dan, gonna catch you later“
\n As you were taking up the cases
\n Of the man with alligator shoes.<\/p>\n
You can take it to the basement, ride it to the top
\n Punching out the floor numbers, hitting on the stop
\n Balling out the bell boy
\n For creasing up the racing news<\/p>\n
Oh! The freight elevator, it’s so good to ride.
\n So far from the lobby on the other side.
\n There’s no sort of space, a stowaway can hide
\n And the sign on the wall says
\n „Just freight inside“<\/p>\n
They’ve got a hot band in residence
\n Lights above the door
\n „Come in every evening and swing with Artie Shaw“
\n Seems the whole of 52nd street
\n Is packing out that floor so tight<\/p>\n
They’ve got a young black vocalist, she’s setting them on fire
\n Singing voice like velvet
\n Stretched out over wire
\n Gonna hire in extra waitresses
\n At least that’s what I heard tonight<\/p>\n
It’s got fresh bed linen
\n For the 14th floor
\n And a crate of canned grapefruit
\n For the cold food store
\n Pair of high heel shoes
\n From a Denver man’s door
\n And that young black vocalist
\n What’s she riding for?<\/p>\n
Oh! The freight elevator, it’s go good to ride
\n So far from the lobby on the other side
\n There’s no sort of space, a stowaway can hide
\n And the main elevator says
\n „No blacks inside“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":978,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_swt_meta_header_display":false,"_swt_meta_footer_display":false,"_swt_meta_site_title_display":false,"_swt_meta_sticky_header":false,"_swt_meta_transparent_header":false},"class_list":["post-1153","song","type-song","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/song\/1153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/song"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/song"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.latinquartermusic.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
